A stray pear seed

A stray seed, carried away by the wind from under a nearby pear tree, took root on the sunny Lysica Hill, which rises above Bošáca village. Bošáca is an exceptional place with a rich fruit-growing tradition, where massive pear seedlings are an integral part of the White Carpathian landscape. The pear tree is an important landmark because the vicinity of the tree is a sought-after place for its weather conditions for fans of paragliding - every year there is a competition in flying historical model airplanes.
